    Blue Iris, added 2nd camera, FPS half?

    Hello all. I have been playing / battling with this for a good month now and finally came to a solution. For me, I was using a 2012 R2 server on ESXI, and Remote desktop update view settings. I was getting weird random fps issues, and video lagging behind. It was sometimes not lagged...

    Blue Iris - 1 camera falling behind quickly

    Interesting. I will check that tonight. What's the logic behind it not being able to get out to the internet?

    Blue Iris - 1 camera falling behind quickly

    Hello, I have two HIKVISION 4 MP cameras on a pretty powerful server 2 x 6 core 2.9 GHz. Only using about 15% cpu with 4 cameras. Not even direct to disk, although that doesn't seem to make a difference in CPU usage weirdly enough. For some reason, one of them starts to lag behind. At...

    Blue Iris, added 2nd camera, FPS half?

    Awesome, I will let him know. No, when I use D2D the frames do not drop again, everything appears to be good with the FPS with both cameras holding steady at 20:20. But the CPU usage drop that you say I should be experiencing, does not happen, and it stays the same with D2D or the stock option.

    Blue Iris, added 2nd camera, FPS half?

    Good news, I purchased the software and now the server is flowing proper 20/20 FPS on both camera. Nothing else changed. Weirdly enough though, I set them both to Direct to Disk, and I get the same FPS as before. I will have to dig into that a bit deeper and find out why. I have enough...

    Blue Iris, added 2nd camera, FPS half?

    Sorry about the h.264 side track. I am obviously a noob here. Fail me. I am still on demo. I had a feeling that there had to be a difference between demo / full, but I wasn't sure yet. Although it is very cheap, and I will most likely get it anyways, I was hoping to make sure this is the...

    Blue Iris, added 2nd camera, FPS half?

    Just set direct to disk and restarted BI. Didn't seem to make any difference in CPU usage. Maybe 1 or 2 %? My guess is that my camera's are already outputting H.264 so there isn't much re-encoding happening?

    Blue Iris, added 2nd camera, FPS half?

    I have not specifically set anything, so I would assume it is whatever is stock. Where is the direct to disk setting? Also they are 4 MP camera's as max quality and max bitrate.

    Blue Iris, added 2nd camera, FPS half?

    I will email support next. I just tested it on my i5-4690k quad @ 5 Ghz, Windows 7, 16 GB, SSD, and the FPS was fine for both. CPU was 33%. Also, this computer is not on a normal wired connection, but a "powerline". Didn't seem to have any issue with network speed however. Thanks for...

    Blue Iris, added 2nd camera, FPS half?

    Ok, I logged into each camera's portal directly and watched, perfectly smooth. (While BI was still running) I connected to rtsp://ip and entered creds in VLC player, perfectly smooth. (While BI was still running) I removed camera's and re-added them, dropped back down to 11.5 fps average. :(...

    Blue Iris, added 2nd camera, FPS half?

    Ok, I ONLY upgraded the software, and I got a few frames per second. Changed nothing else. Up to 13.5.

    Blue Iris, added 2nd camera, FPS half?

    Thank fenderman for the super fast response. I don't have any AV on this test server. I will remove them and add them again here shortly and test VLC. I don't see the update file, could you point me to that? Edit: Found it! http://blueirissoftware.com/updates/ for future people.

    Blue Iris, added 2nd camera, FPS half?

    Hello. I am building my basic security system, basically only 2 cams right now, and my, what I though, way overkill server. I have been testing the Blue Iris software, and the first cam was great, 20 fps, 4 MP, added a second, and it wen to 10.x fps on both. Cameras...
